    Innovating with Farmer Field Schools to accelerate transitions toward sustainable, resilient and fair agrifood systems 2025
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    Over three decades, Farmer Field Schools (FFS) have proven to be fertile spaces where women and men from farming communities generate, test, and adapt ideas that respond to local challenges and support food security and nutrition, climate resilience, ecosystem health and inclusive rural development. This brief speaks to rural development organizations, researchers, and practitioners seeking practical pathways to accelerate innovation for agrifood system transformation. It provides a new lens to intentionally nurture and scale innovations in the context of FFS interventions, and highlights practitioners’ recommendations to improve the contributions of the FFS approach to innovation towards more sustainable, fair and resilient agrifood systems. It is part of a new series of guidance notes and factsheets which draw on documented experiences of innovations in development interventions using FFS.

    The Mekong River Delta, Viet Nam's primary rice production region, confronts intensifying climate challenges that threaten both agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability. This report documents outcomes from the national event "The transformation to a sustainable, high-quality, and low-emission rice sector in Viet Nam: Participatory workshop on climate actions and resilience" that examined strategic approaches for transforming rice cultivation systems toward high-value, low-emission practices aligned with national green growth objectives. The document outlines a comprehensive investment framework targeting sustainable water management and climate-smart rice production across one million hectares in the delta. The proposed initiative integrates four complementary elements: climate-resilient cultivation techniques, irrigation infrastructure modernization, strengthened market linkages for premium rice varieties, and knowledge transfer mechanisms to support adoption. By applying climate foresight methodology, stakeholders identified context-specific interventions that address projected changes in temperature patterns, water availability, and soil conditions. Part of the Agriculture Sector Readiness project for enhanced climate finance in Southeast Asia, this workshop demonstrates how strategic climate investments can simultaneously enhance production quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve farmer livelihoods in vulnerable rice-producing regions of the Mekong Delta.
